http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=23Well I decided to come back after a looong absence. Forgot all about this site until I came across some documentation of mine and saw an entry about the advogato website.
<p> Maybe I might start writing some stuff here again. Who knows!...Thu, 9 Aug 2001 08:22:32 GMT9 Aug 2001http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=22
http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=22Well it really does seem someone is playing games here.
Bouncing up and down between Journeyer level and back to
nothing over the last few weeks seems a bit odd. I have read
other peoples entries over the last couple of days and
although they haven't written anything in months, some
dating back to last year, their level never seem to be
affected. Oh well...... :)Sat, 4 Aug 2001 03:18:33 GMT4 Aug 2001http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=21
http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=21<b>T.V.</b> died today but that doesn't really matter. I
hardly watch any t.v. anyway. Don't know how the wife is
going to cope missing out on "Buffy" and "Angel" for a while
though :-)
<p>
<b>Tax</b> time again *sigh*..... Need to go through all my
reciepts today and try to work out how much I might get back.
If its a large amount I better be careful or else I'll be
forced to listen to "Buffy" and "Angel" from the lounge room
again.
<p>Not much else happening this weekend except eat, drink
and relax a bit...

http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=20<b>Today:</b> Diary application completed.
<p>
<b>Tomorrow:</b> Clean up a bit of the design and some of
the code.
<p>
<b>Friday:</b> Start testing !
<p>
Yesterday I was given a deadline of 20th Aug 2001 to have
this project completed. Boy it feels good being 3 weeks
ahead of schedule :) However, over the next couple of
weeks, Lito and I will get a few users to test the diary to
ensure it functions correctly and that the design meets the
users liking. I'm sure there will be few minor changes to
make, but its great to be able to have that little bit of
extra time on your hands. I can definately see a drink or
two being washed down this weekend!

http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=19Ok.... As promised I have placed links below to screenshots
of the diary application I have been working on with Lito
Lontoc. They are only shots of the <b>login screen</b> but they
will give you an idea of the CSS styles that I have
implemented for the users. At the top right hand corner you
will see the style buttons users can choose which will allow
them to pick their favourite colour. Once chosen, every page
(form) they then go to will default to that chosen colour.
Sorry about the OS and browser that is shown, but heck,
thats what I have to use whilst at work ;-)

<p>I will eventually post more screenshots of the diary
itself which will include a calendar, scheduling, court
lists etc etc.... which will give you more of an idea of the
work that has gone into converting the mainframe app to a
web interface.

http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=16Just a quick update. My java-script to import images into
different styles when you click a style button (see
previous diary entry) is working. Things just keep getting
better!
<p><b>Ausmosis</b>Fri, 20 Jul 2001 13:49:48 GMT20 Jul 2001http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=15
http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=15oo la la.... today I managed to get my diary that I'm
developing from the mainframe into a web interface to change
to 4 different styles/themes by a click of a button.
Hmmm.... this is very cool indeed! What I wanted to achieve
for the users that will be using the diary, is for them to
be able to choose a particular style/theme that they prefer
from any page and then store their choice into a cookie so
that the next time they use the diary it will default to
that particular style/theme. All the java-script and
different styles sheets work perfectly. The only thing left
to do is to import the correct graphics into each
style/theme which shouldn't be to hard to do with a bit more
java-script code. Hopefully by the end of next week, Lito
and myself will have the prototype of the diary up and
running and we will get some users to do some test on it.
This is all very exciting and like I mentioned below, I will
have some screenshots soon :)
<p>In the meantime, if you like art, take a look at some of
my work on my personal page and feel free to let me know if
you like it or think its rather crappy... click <a

http://www.advogato.org/person/Ausmosis/diary.html?start=14You know.... some people are good, some are nice and some
just always think of others and don't really care much about
themselves or their own status. <a
href="http://advogato.net/person/ncm/">ncm</a> is one of
those people.
<p> <p>Today (yesterday to some of you) <a
href="http://advogato.net/person/ncm/">ncm</a> gave me a bit
of a boost in relation to my certification. It wasn't a big
boost (apprentice level) but one I probably rightly deserve.
Now the reason why I mention <a
href="http://advogato.net/person/ncm/">ncm</a>, is the fact
that I decided to take a look at his page and I noticed that
he is certified at "Master" level. He has been the second at
that level to visit my little <a
href="http://advogato.net/person/Ausmosis/">section</a>, and
actually certify me. Thanks
ncm! :)
<p> <p>The other thing I do admire about this chap is the fact
that he himself considers that he should only be at
"Journeyer" level and has actually asked people to withdraw
their certifications on him so that he can drop to that
level. Christ!! most people (99%) would want to retain that
level of status! Another thing he also does, is to withdraw
certifications on certain people and then certifies others
he thinks deserves to be certified.
<p> <p>There should be more people like him, unselfish and fair.
<p>Oh... and thanks to <a
href="http://advogato.net/person/arozell/">arozell</a> to. I
didn't forget you either ;)
